She said: “During lockdown people are isolated and it can be really hard to connect. “We’re using our channels to connect people in the community. It’s great for people to have something to look forward to each day and to take their mind off the frustrations they feel. “My brain has been totally frazzled in this lockdown and I think everyone’s mental health has taken a massive hit. Everyone has low moments so we just try to focus on the positives.” The group was launched by Dawn Derraven and Tara Holloway on March 23 last year - the date the first lockdown was announced - and now has 190 volunteers registered.
